Sunday:
2:00 PM - 6:00 PM - Intermediate Group Coaching
- This workshop will allow for more personalized attention from Tony and Jaime. Instead of a structured class, they will give us a few exercises to work on and we will split up in to small groups or pairs to work together. Groups and pairs will rotate throughout the day. They will then come around to each group or pair and give personalized feedback to each dancer on how to improve their Lindy Hop skills! You won't want to miss this more intimate dance setting!
